Tebow ready, willing — but no one's calling

Tim Tebow is gainfully employed by the SEC Network, but broadcasting would not qualify as the former Heisman Trophy winner's dream job.

That's why Tebow, a first-round pick of the Denver Broncos who last started regularly in the NFL in 2011, is staying in shape and keeping his phone close by.

"I'm training every day and feel like I'm the best that I've ever been," Tebow told The Tennessean. "I still love it, love playing, talking about it, and I'm just excited about whatever the future holds. Who knows what could happen' But I'm excited about it, though."

Tebow won the Heisman Trophy at Florida in 2007 and was a first-round pick to Denver in 2010 when New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was head coach of the Broncos.

Tebow was traded to the Jets when the Broncos, coming off a wild-card playoff win, signed Peyton Manning in free agency. Tebow toiled on special teams and was never employed as a Wildcat threat as billed with the Jets. He went to training camp with the Patriots but did not make the final cut in 2013.
